Hey have creams for this u can buy at a drug store*

I am from australia
at the chemist there is canesten cream for thrush.
And a cream called resolve
you have to use it unternally and externally all over the area to prevent it re occuring. You need to dissenfect all your sheets and underware. Prehaps if you dont have cotton underware get some.

Really? You have to disinfect sheets and underwear? Well, I guess that must explain a lot. Why the infection keeps on coming back. Everytime I put my undergarments on i'm reinfecting myself. However, mine can't be sexually transmitted because i'm a virgin. So, where else can you get a yeast infection?

Persian,
it's not about "where" you get a yeast infection, but "how" you get one....You can get a yeast infection from so many things...From not drying yourself well enough after you take a shower, and then put your underwear on and still being "damp down there"...You can get it from taking antibiotics,birth control, over douching, not cleaning enough or properly down there(poor hygiene)....I've personally never heard that you have to disinfect sheets and underwear...I mean of course you're not going to put on a pair of already worn dirty undies, or sleep on stained sheets, come on now! if you suspect you have a yeast infection, or if you think something's going on "down under" than it's imperative to get in to see ur dr to get proper treatment/medication!

Also, perfumes and lotions applied down there,...Bubble baths are major! They cause alot of yeast infections!...

I am 42 with 5 kids , I had a hysterectomy, and the medication like antibiotics will cause it,, I have been on duflacan, its the same for 2 days I have relief, then blam! I have it again. I have a good relationship with my dr's nurses, they know when I call that I need yeast infection meds. I tell ya, I am gonna go and see the dr this week, and find out why, because, I have never had any female trouble until I had the hysterectomy.. I hope you feel better.

Just a heads up---if your sexually active with the same partner while you have a yeast infection you need to treat him as well otherwise (though guys don't have any problems with it) he can carrie the problem and keep giving it back to you. I personnally get a yeast infection anytime I decide to have a beer, so I just don't drink beer. There are many causes but many people forget that a guy can carry it.

Hi iam new to the board, but I noticed autum24 and her reply.. You say everytime you have a beer you get a yeast infection huh?
Well ive been telling everyone that about me because I never drank a day in my life then about 3 months ago I started drinking jack daniels dont ask just took a likeing to it straight even... Well then was my first yeast infection, then a second then a third all in 2 months
my doc said its not from the jack.... But I disagree now that ive seen someone else with the same kind of problem,,,,
how did you determine it was the beer?

look you can get a yeast infection from wearing tight clothes all kinds of things ask your doc..... The dye in pants and yur clothes can give you one and dushing to much and moisture in your clothes to much moisture... Love ya all buh bye.............

Everyone thinks that people with diseases easy even though you can get it easy you know you can prevent that dont have sex anyone can get a yeast infection but sexually transmitted diseases are a different story gots to bounce holla

your baby is so cute my sis has a girl shes gettin ready to have a boy in january........
